File Formats

Mathcad 14 supports two XML file formats: XMCD and XMCDZ (compressed 

XMCD). These XML formats are designed to facilitate the addition of tracking and 

management metadata to Mathcad worksheets. This metadata can be retrieved by any 

XML-compliant or text-based search tool. In addition, the worksheet contents can also 

be read by an XML-compliant tool, allowing for the distribution of worksheets without 

the need for Mathcad.

The Mathcad 14 versions of the XMCD/XMCDZ formats differ substantially from 

previous versions of these file formats.

Mathcad can save files in supported older formats, though new features may not be 

supported by earlier versions. Worksheet content dependent upon a new feature is saved 

in static, bitmap form when you save as a previous version.

Mathcad 14 does not support an updated binary MCD format, though it can open MCD 

files.
